So Asuka is the NXT woman's champ. It's not the main roster, but it's notable she's a champion with the almost non-existent mic time she's had. It's a credit to her talent and charisma and the way she's been booked that she's as over as she is and her being champ doesn't feel weird or rushed.
But has any wrestler, male or female, ever won a title without barely speaking a word? Different if that's your gimmick (Attitude Era Kane) or you have a manager to talk for you (Mr Fuji for Yokozuna), but as far as I can recall the only time Asuka has actually spoken was her odd debut when she came to the ring like she had won a game show. After that, nothing.
Is that a record?

Kane.
Also I think Asuka has spoken a few other times... but it is rare.

In TNA, Awesome Kong hardly ever talked. Neither did Hamada.

Undertaker during the early years.
Did Yokuzuna talk?
Sin Cara held a title, right?

Did The Great Khali speak much before his Championship win?

I think HHH only spoke like once in 2002 max.

If you take this internationally, I think the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship has several title holders who qualify... like a ladder.

Goldberg.
I'm pretty sure he did his first Mean Gene interview after winning the Championship.

Big Show and Reigns come to mind. Considering their respective 4th and 1st world title reigns come to under 6 minutes total, so there was an absence of jibber-jabber.
